On Tuesday, I became the proud half owner of Pittsburgh Pirate tickets– I feel like a proud parent or something the way I said that. 81 Pirate games; yikes! Although, we will be selling (or trying to) sell half of them. If you follow baseball, you know the Pirates aren’t that great, which is probably why a season ticket =$4.98/game. Extremely cheap entertainment. At the recommendations of everyone who commented about TOMs, I will definitely be investing in a pair before the start of the season! Definitely black to go with the apparent black and gold that I will be living in this spring and summer. Thanks, you guys are awesome!

This week my newest addiction (aside from Pinterest and compulsive blog reading) has become Etsy.com, I could seriously spend hours on there. They have amazing stuff…nothing I so much need right now, but a whole lot of stuff I want!

Have you shopped on Etsy.com?

Today’s Tryin’ It Out Thursday takes us back to the basics. A little review doesn’t hurt, plus everyone could use a little refresher course from time-to-time on form.

Check out this article from FitSugar.com: 5 Beginner Strength Training Moves to Master.

This article covers:

  • the squat
  • the lunge
  • the plank
  • the sit-up
  • the push-up

It was a nice little review and it helped me workout some kinks in some form, which guess what? Working out some kinks made the plank made me dislike this exercise a little less. :-P

What is your favorite way to strength train?

To help achieve my fitness goals without re-injuring my recently repaired foot, I am slowly easing my way back into working out, building up strength and building up endurance before I begin to run. This cardio/strength workout is yet another great find off of Pinterest. I actually did this while watching the news this morning.

I found it to be a great variety. It was challenging, but not painful (aside from black and blue knees I sustained from an ice skating mishap earlier this week, I went down gracefully attempting to be a show-off. Let’s just say I am not going to be a figure skater or a professional hockey player any time soon.) It seems the few years I have pretty much been an accident waiting to happen. Pretty much any form of exercise/physical activity I try eventually ends in some sort of mishap!

I’ve never been a huge fan of push-ups, so this workout actually got me to do them, which is a definite plus!
